Is cerebral infarction a cardiovascular disease

Cerebral infarction belongs to cerebrovascular disease, not cardiovascular disease. Cardiovascular disease refers to myocardial ischemic disease caused by coronary artery lesions, including angina pectoris and myocardial infarction, which mainly cause symptoms such as chest tightness, chest pain and cardiac arrest. Treatment mainly deals with coronary artery lesions, including stents and medication. Cerebral infarction is the manifestation of a series of neurological deficits due to arterial vascular lesions in the brain, resulting in ischemic necrosis of brain tissue cells. Patients with cerebral infarction mainly show whole brain or focal neurological symptoms, such as impaired consciousness, dementia, hemiparesis, aphasia, sensory abnormalities, eye movement disorders, dysarthria, choking on drinking water, hoarseness, ataxia, epileptic seizures and other symptoms. The treatment of cerebral infarction is mainly to restore effective cerebral blood perfusion, which can be treated by thrombolysis, thrombus removal, stenting, medication and rehabilitation.
